Balla Balla officially signed up China State Engineering Company as lead contractor last week https://thewest.com.au/news/pilbara-news/high-hopes-for-balla-balla-project-ng-b88857026z.....
I was thinking this one might be good for us - with that big  railway  -  especially as there is presumably a good rapport between Peter Thomas (ex FMG) who is heading up development there and NRW....

but now I wonder ...
After the near-company-destroying debacle with Samsung as lead contractor for Roy Hill 2014/2015, NRW Management was really clear at the last AGM it had had enough of faceless internationals.
In case you are new here’s a link https://www.pressreader.com/australia/the-west-australian/20151007/281934541771815
This was one of the reasons despite being invited to tender for Adani ( by Peter Thomas ?) the company wasn’t interested.

Now another enormous international giant is in charge of collecting contractors for  BBI (which in itself is a NZ mob..)..
......and CSCE does not come with a clean record either... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_State_Construction_Engineering


“In its 2009 Annual Report, the World Bank Integrity Vice Presidency had identified China State Construction Engineering as among several firms that allegedly engaged in fraudulent, corrupt or collusive practices and debarred it for 6 years.

China Harbour Engineering, meanwhile, is a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company Ltd. which, along with all its subsidiaries, were debarred by the World Bank from 2011 to January 2017 for alleged fraudulent practices, according to the ABS-CBN Investigative and Research Group.”http://news.abs-cbn.com/business/08...world-bank-eye-clark-airport-terminal-project

After the well-remembered hell which  Samsung caused (with more than NRW ) why did BBI chose China State Construction Company ?  I am guessing to gain  an “in “ with government iron ore purchases?
